Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I have to work tomorrow. Possibly a mimosa would help.

So, I posted over in Bitches, but no one seems to be there right now. Either that, or they just don't care that I saw a bear today, in the wild. Ok, I was in a car, but the bear was in the wild. And it wasn't just a brief flash. He kind of sauntered along the road towards us while we frantically rolled up our windows. It was just a black bear, but it was the biggest black bear I've seen that wasn't stuffed. Also, we were through with our hike, so it worked out perfectly!

Hmm. A mimosa sounds good.

Perhaps it wanted a bellini, too.

Possibly. I must admit that I'm not sure what a bellini is, but it was pretty warm here today, so if it's cool....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

libkitty, I can't process seeing a bear in the not-quite (since you were driving) wild. They're deepest darkest forest or zoo to me.

I lived in Canada. Hell, I live in California. It shouldn't be that way.

Okay. Will prep to leave for shopping. Mimosa fixings for 10 chicks--three bottles of sparkling wine, you think?

A bear, libkitty? Does Stephen Colbert know about this!?

We need to hold a Chicago'istas Welcome Shrift type event.

That would be cool.

Okay, so the pizza place I ordered from called to tell me they were having problems with their ovens, and would I mind thin crust instead? I told 'em to send it along. As an apology for the delay, they also tossed in half a cake. I was all "Woo, SCORE!" until I accidentally dropped some sausage, and the roommate's cat pounced on it and made scary gremlin noises.

I may need backup.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I want to see a bear. And a moose. Not necessarily at the same time.

The Brangelina baby is supposedly named Shiloh Nouvel.

I can just imagine the reactions of his family to that name.

the roommate's cat pounced on it and made scary gremlin noises.

Don't feed it after midnight.

Within a few months here, I had seen one across the street from the 11-story building where I work, but it was pretty young and scared and injured. Poor thing. It climbed a tiny tree that looked like it wouldn't hold a monkey. They drove a pickup truck underneath it and darted it and it fell right into the truck. I think they fixed his paw and took him somewhere remote to release him. I tell myself this, anyway.

This guy was nothing like that. He was pretty darn big.
